This is one of my nightmarish fictional climates. I've made a few others but this is one I can realistically see happening given the current arrangement of the continents (although maybe not in the Southern Hemisphere). It's located in an inland subtropical desert hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest ocean, in a world that is ~7 C (~12 F) warmer than late 20th-century Earth.
Latitude: 21.4° S
Elevation: 270 m
Köppen climate classification: BWh
There's just too many examples of a nightmare climate that I could think of for me, so I've combined them into a single table which gives an idea of what I hate the most:
Extremely frigid awfully cold winters without much snow and no sunshine.
Slow to warm up springs with seasonal lag and lots of slushy ice/rain rubbish.
Anaemic and very rainy, cloudy summers with the odd joke 20 degree day every 10 years or so.
Very fast cooling autumn with constant drizzle and wind.
Booooke.
Probably the most scarring thing of all about the climate is that you would LOOK FORWARD to the summer, as terrible as it is anyway.

Oh, that looks like northeast Poland, near
the border and to me sounds very appealing...
And who would have thought I'd despise the climate that never gets below freezing? Well there is one contender for such a place, where the drizzle and heavy rain lasts continuously, and the sun never shines. The temperature has never been above 13°C, or below 0°C. Just heavy rain and wind, all year round. Even at 1°C you still get heavy rain and snow has never been recorded.

Where is that?
I heard that Jan Mayden in Norway is pretty bad, but this is much worse.
This is one of my nightmare climates. At least Eman Resu's nightmare climate gets lots of rain and you can still do outdoor activities with some rain gear.
This place gets 7.7 "sun" hours (rather liberal estimate), most of it from artificial light. There is a sunroof in my kitchen, and the sun shines about 52% of the time in Portland, so do the math as to how much of it is actually natural sunlight.
